Out of the Mailbox

Posted on August 17, 2002 in Mailbox

Once a month or so, I think I should do what I did a few weeks ago and give people a sampling of the garbage that makes it past the spam-killer filter. This is for history’s sake, so the grandchildren of the next generation can see how hard life was for us poor, techno-maddened products of the mid-twentieth century:

Put the words “penis” and “breast” into your kill file and it’s amazing how much spam you eliminate.

I have no faith in the “remove me” links. Went to one today and got a “Cannot Find Server” error.
